Oh, I don't know.  A quick idea comes to mind (that would use less than
30 seconds):

Fade into a screen with three Macintoshes on the left, three Ataris on
the right, and one Amiga in the middle.  A voice says something like:
"to run three programs at once, you need three Macintoshes, or three
Ataris, or only ONE Amiga 500."  Then add some catchy slogan like,
"why limit yourself to one program at a time?" or so, you know,
elaborate on that.

Sure, the viewer may say, "what the h*ll does that mean?", but it
would give her/him further motive to go check out the *real* facts,
and he would see that the commercial wasn't lying.  The commercial
wouldn't even need to mention the word "multitasking,"  just the concept.

Just a thought...
